I’m not sure I have fully processed this movie about a genetically engineered super-soldier in the form of a teenage girl locked inside one damn twisted fairy-tale-esque nightmare, but here we go… The movie opens with a young girl in the Arctic tundra stalking an elk (or was it caribou?). She nabs her prey only [...]

…but definitely off subject, I was more than a little appalled when clicking through my backlog of RSS feeds, I came across this little gem of an article in the Washington Post that reports how the CIA is providing Afghan warlords with Viagra. Given that Afghanistan is definitely on the list of “Places in the [...]
Kim Soo-Im
You say “potato”, I say “po-tah-toe”, you say “Mata Hari”, I say “get your facts straight”…damn this is getting tiresome… So history is playing yet another round of “Blame Dame” with the acts of a cowardly US Colonel towards a dame being mislabeled as “Sexpionage”. Sigh. Here we go: Kim Soo-Im (1911-1950) was a highly [...]
Amy Elizabeth “Betty” Thorpe Pack
I’ve been a little loathe to write of Elizabeth “Betty” Thorpe Pack (1910-1963), famous WWII Spy-Dame, for the simple reason that she is too closely associated with a term this Agent truly dislikes: Sexpionage.

The Dames Hunting Aldrich Ames
1990′s were not a good time for the US intelligence community. Both the FBI and CIA has suffered terribly at the hands of traitors in the form of Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames, but it is Ames who is considered to have done the most damage to the CIA’s overseas assets. Ames began working for [...]
Pamela Landy
I’ve always had a soft spot for Jason Bourne, ever since that 26 hours I spent rained in at Chicago O’Hare airport with nothing but a sweater and a dog-eared copy of the Robert Ludlow book. So when the films came out, I was first in line. CIA Agent, Pamela Landy, appears in the second [...]
Sidney Bristow
The TV show “ALIAS” had me at first tooth pull. Tied to a chair, drugged out of her gourd and about to be tortured by having her chompers yanked by a Chinese agent, “Sidney” sasses her torturer by asking if he could “start with the back?”. Teeth that is. And he obliges. One aerial chair [...]
